While it's important not to take too much away from this quote, it is a little revealing as to James' mindset. He's not worried about the Pacers, even though Indiana has given Cleveland its money's worth in the first two games. But despite the close calls, the Cavs have a comfortable series lead.

Add on to that the fact James has won 19 straight first-round games, and it's easy to understand why he's upset about missing Kendrick Lamar's Coachella set.

His quote is somewhat similar to something James said back in last year's playoff series against the Raptors. The series had been tied 2-2, and after a blowout victory in Game 5 James said, "I've been a part of some very adverse situations and I just didn't believe that this was one of them."
